I was so sorry to hear of Andy’s passing. He was a wonderful father to Chrystal and father figure to me in my life. I enjoyed the many times spent at their home as well as the vacations and events I was invited on in my childhood. Andy treated me and all of Chrystal’s friends like his own. He will be missed by many in this community.
